Hidden Agenda: Planted Gay General At R's Debate: ‘Out’ Mag Ranks Cooper as U.S No.2 Gay Man.
New York Magazine ^

Posted on 11/29/2007 5:19:19 AM PST by InfantryMarine

Looks like Anderson Cooper had his own 'agenda' along with Hillary for setting this up. Also, just heard on local radio CNN actually paid him (The Gay Guy) to fly in to FL. for the debate. Can anyone confirm this?

Out’ Ranks the Top 50 Gays; Anderson Is No. 2

When New York did a "Gay Life Now" issue in 2001, only seven of the forty prominent New York gays asked to pose for the cover were willing. Those big shots may have been gay, and they may have been out, but it just wouldn't do for them to be gay and out on the cover of a magazine. "There was a time when the closet was a necessary safe haven," our pal Maer Roshan, who edited the issue, wrote in an angry 2,000-word essay. "But now, it exists as an anachronistic monument to shame. It's time for our public figures to stop hiding in there — and for journalists to stop helping them."

Six years and a month later, maybe at least that second part has come true. Here's a first glimpse at the cover of Out magazine's "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America" issue.

Those are models holding Jodie Foster and Anderson Cooper masks on the cover. Neither, of course, would appear themselves.

The republicans should demand a CNN apology just because they allowed the guy to attack the candidates with a long speech from the audience. The audience was supposed to not even applaud or boo, yet they give the mic to one and allow him to give a speech against the entire republican field.

Close second for apology time was having an Edwards supporter as the first "undecided republican" they interviewed after the debate. Didn't you know that all republicans are actually voting democrat this time?

They ought to tell CNN to go to hell and never do another debate with them.

If ever there was a thread worthy of that “Duncan Hunter Declares This To Be Gay!” graphic, this would be it.

Earlier this year, DemonRATS issued a statement that they would never hold a debate on Fox News because they feel the network would not treat them fairly. Well, the left has once again demonstrated what it’s like to not treat people fairly. It’s sad and funny how they accuse us of planning to to the very things that they themselves always do.

“They ought to tell CNN to go to hell and never do another debate with them.”

They OUGHT to, but when you have no spine and no stones, you ain’t gonna do it.

I wonder why they still continue to have debates on MSNBC when every night they are attacked and berated by those two self-designated geniuses, Matthews and Olbermann.

Most likely, all the Democrat candidates were represented by a questioner at both CNN debates. I am not even confident that the idea for the sham debate emanated from the Hillary campaign. I think that it might have come from Edwards, and I think that the plan for it might go back to the refusal to appear on FOX for a debate. I think that was part of the deal.

Now, my question is, do you think that the using such a prominent Gay man to represent the Hillary questioner was a set up, considering all the talk of Hillary and her lesbian lover? Or, maybe the other way around, maybe the Hillary campaign was setting up the anti-gay rhetoric to make the questioner more meaningful.

“hose big shots may have been gay, and they may have been out, but it just wouldn’t do for them to be gay and out on the cover of a magazine.”

Now this is very revealing but not in the way that you would think, the Homosexual Mafia doesn’t want their faces plastered all over a magazine spread..

Compare that to this supposed Scandal,

Valerie Plame, supposedly in fear for her life for being “exposed” appears on TV and Magazine covers and gives interviews all the time, yet she is in some sort of danger?

Bull feathers, the Left is intellectually dishonest to say the least, power grubbing opportunistic Stalinists may be more accurate the description of them!
